The Mürz River, a tributary of the Mur, flows through the Austrian state of Styria, originating in the Alps near the Schneealpe and traveling through towns like Mürzzuschlag and Bruck an der Mur. Its alpine origin keeps the Mürz relatively cold throughout the year, with water temperatures in summer rarely exceeding 15°C to 18°C (59°F to 64°F) in its lower sections. In higher-altitude areas, the water remains even cooler, often below 10°C (50°F), which can make extended swimming less appealing.
Swimming in the Mürz is not particularly common due to the cold temperatures and the river's modest size. However, on hot summer days, locals may wade into its shallower sections to cool off or enjoy brief dips. The river’s clean, clear water and picturesque surroundings make it a popular spot for relaxing by the banks, fishing, or engaging in other recreational activities. For those seeking a warmer and more comfortable swimming experience, nearby lakes or public swimming pools in the region offer better options.
